Real Madrid Vs Espanyol: The Starting 11

The upcoming match is against Espanyol at home, currently they are at 19th and Real are 2nd on the leader-board. With equal points with Barcelona Madrid is not going to take any risks this time again.



First I would like to see the 

Injury list:
  1. Asensio
  2. James
  3. Lucas Vazquez
  4. Hazard
  5. Marcelo
Suspended:

1.     None 

Just recovered:
  1. Nacho
Practiced:

Asensio, James, Hazard and Lucas Vázquez continue with their recovery processes. Bale combined work in the gym and out on the pitch.

Skipped Practice:

None

Coach Comments:
  • Nothing specific
Other Comments:
    • There is some doubt on Bale, he might be ready in time for a substitute but not in the starting 11.
    Squad Updates:


    This is a crucial game for La Liga title race, with all the teams neck to neck. With Varane back practicing regularly we will have him in the starting 11 and as Marcelo has a muscular injury he should miss and Mendy should start. So Mendy, Ramos, Varane and Carvajal will start, more so with the great work over the past few games by the defence.


    In the goal Courtois will start, having got some rest with Areola playing one game, things look definitely positive.

    All the four super mid-fielders are doing great, Modric, Kroos, Valverde and Casemiro. As Casemiro is on 4 yellow cards, he will start and try to be available for El clasico. So, it is going to be Casemiro, Kroos and Modric. 

    Isco will start again as Bale is not fully fit, Bale will be seen as a substitute and Valverde for Modric or Kroos depending on the score line.

    As Lucas Vazquez and James have been injured and Rodrygo should start. So, Isco, Benzema and Rodrygo should start. and will have Vinicius, Bale and Jovic as substitutes depending on the work rate.


    So the final starting 11 will be:

    The upcoming match is against Real Sociedad at home, currently they are at 5th and Real are 2nd on the leader-board. With equal points with Barcelona  Madrid is not going to take any risks this time again. First I would like to see the  Injury list : Asensio James Lucas Vazquez Nacho Suspended : 1.       None  Just recovered: Bale Marcelo Practiced:  Nacho is practicing alone. Skipped Practice: None Coach Comments: Nothing specific Other Comments: Marcelo has recovered in time and might start.

    Real Madrid vs Celta Vigo: The Starting 11

    The upcoming match is against Celta Vigo at home in the La liga match day 24.  Celta are 17th on the leader-board and Real are top of the league. This is a chance for Real to extend the lead and as the gap at the top is very narrow,  Madrid is not going to take any risks this time. Looking at the  Injury list: Asensio Mariano James Only Asensio is injured. And he has not been practicing with the team. He has started individual workouts now. We hope his recovery is faster and soon he starts playing with the team. Suspended : None, Mendy has 4 yellows and has a risk of suspension. Just recovered: Hazard He has started practicing with the team for two weeks now but still a doubt to play as a starter. Practiced: Asensio is on his recovery process. Mariano and James are not with the team. Others are practicing with the team. Skipped Practice: None Coach Comments: None. Other Comments: This is a crucial game...

    Alaves Vs Real Madrid: The Starting 11

    The upcoming match is against Alaves away from home in the La liga match day 20.  The last Real Madrid game was against Alcoyano which was a shameful result after a pathetic display in midfield but as always there were several opportunities wasted by the forwards.  The team rating for the match against  Alcoyano  can be found here:  Team Rating From now on all games are like do or die as there is already a huge gap at the top. Real have no option but to win this fixture at any cost.  Last year this fixture was a 1-2 Win but we have already lost to Alaves this season at home 2-1. Looking at the Injury list: Rodrygo Carvajal Nacho Suspended : None Just recovered: Ramos Varane Practiced: The rest of the players are available for selection.  Skipped Practice: None Coach Comments: I am responsible because I am the coach. Players have tried. It is not a shame. It's another painful day. Other Comments: The team is in another crisis, the problem is the squad l...

    PSG Vs Real Madrid: The Starting 11

    The upcoming match is against the PSG in Paris, they too have several injury and form worries themselves. Current Squad Declared with Uefa: https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/season=2020/clubs/club=50051/squad/ (Source: Uefa.com) First I would like to see the  injury list : Isco Modric Asensio Valverde Marcelo Suspended : Ramos  Nacho Just recovered: Jovic  James Hazard Brahim Diaz Rodrygo Practiced: All except the injured lot. Skipped Practice: None Coach Comments: Hazard to start " BBH Sounds good" Benzema to be the leader without Ramos and Marcelo. So the line up seems Hazard to start on the left but will have a backup in Vinicius. With Bale getting rest in la liga is certain to start on the right and switch to left time to time. James has been playing well and with most of the other mid fielders injures is certain to play behind Benzema. Kroos and Casemiro will control the game in the mid. With the suspens...
